making the game 2.5D just ruining everything about this game. making it hard to traverse, hard to fight, even hard for developement. It could have been an beautiful 3D game surpass Dark Souls or even Elden Ring, but sadly It’s 2.5D with no way of changing the viewport. ARPG does not need to be 2.5D,…

The devs have plans to add a 3rd person perspective to the game. They will only add it after 1.0 though, if ever. Below are two links about this. [image] Updates and discussions from the official Discord Wicked General Thomas is teasing some 3rd person perspect…

I think it’s a matter of preference and I prefer 2.5D. I loved games like TUNIC, Death’s Door, Hyper Light Drifter, and COCOON I’ve never had any camera issues with these games, and NRFTW has given me very few camera issues (most have already been fixed). I find 2.5D clearer than 3D in every game …

[image] Lombix_4: I find 2.5D clearer than 3D in every game I’ve played, Especially in the same genre, in Elden Ring and Dark Souls there are always camera issues against large enemies. not if you do not lockon. every automated camera feature is more or less crappy. in those games it also hel…

[image] Chemile0n: not if you do not lockon In my experience, if you don’t lockon, the problems are reduced but don’t disappear, In Sekiro these problems are not present or are minimal, so in my opinion it is a mistake by the devs who should have worked more on the camera. They know it too, i…

I have two lvl 96 characters in Path of Exile 2 and 15k hours in Dota 2. I enjoyed 2.5D for a long time. But they are all flat visible maps with competitive combat systems. WoW also have free camera for exploration. in No Rest for the Wicked, the level design is like dark souls where the world is v…

[image] dark_souls: But they are all flat visible maps with competitive combat systems. [image] dark_souls: the level design is like dark souls where the world is vertical, with many shortcuts and loops. these kind of discovery is best served with 3D. Games like TUNIC & Death’s Door ha…

I don’t see anything wrong with 2.5D. The only problem is objects that sometimes don’t disappear and block the view.

The isometric viewpoint is the only way I want to play, and I really dislike FPP and TPP. If they add those as optional modes, that’s fine, but the core experience should stay isometric. Every other soulslike game is already first or third person anyway. I also don’t think players should have camer…

Yes i love the isometric view in this game but even if we could just rotate a bit to the right or left it would be huge in some areas or have the camera rotation locked to follow the back of the character when moving would be nice atleast when inside houses, i think its fine to atleast have the opti…
